Hi! I'm NJ Smith.
I'm an information designer living in Brooklyn. My current work uses data viz, web development, and creative tech tools to build on my background as a writer and editor. I've also got a long history in grassroots community organizations, public media outlets, and cultural nonprofits, and these days what I enjoy building most are communications tools that serve the public interest.
My comfort zone: web development, Python, SQL, Git, Figma, the Adobe and Affinity suites, TouchDesigner, Eleventy.js, WordPress
Currently I'm learning: Blender, Svelte + D3.js, QGIS, p5.js
I spend my free time on: illustrating, classic
animation, kung fu movies, and practicing my Spanish
